Abstract
Description
- The invention relates to a drive system having an electric direct drive and at least one bearing module, wherein the bearing module has a radial bearing and/or an axial bearing.
- Drive systems having electric direct drives are known. In this drive concept, mechanical transmission elements such as, for example, a gear mechanism are dispensed with since the torque is transmitted directly onto the drive shaft by means of a direct drive. A direct drive is therefore, in particular, shaftless since the part to be moved, i.e. the rotor, is provided for connection by flanges to the drive shaft. The torque is generally produced by means of a fixed stator which transmits the torque directly onto the rotor via the air gap.
- DE 199 09 307 A1 discloses a production machine with electric drives for use in the plastics industry, with at least one electric drive being embodied as a direct drive.
- For a drive system with an electric direct drive it is necessary in many machine applications, in particular wherever increased axial loads affect the direct drive, to correspondingly absorb the axial and radial forces which occur during operation. This is done, for example, by means of axial and radial bearings. However, in the bearing system of a direct drive such standard bearings are often overloaded, and therefore what are referred to as bearing modules are arranged upstream, depending on the load, in order to avoid overloading of the actual bearings. The bearing modules which are embodied with oil lubrication, and also the bearings, heat up during operation owing to frictional and churning losses and even overheat in some cases. As a result, the bearing service lives and the service times of the lubricant are shortened considerably. Furthermore, overheating can also lead to a brief failure of the entire machine.
- The object of the present invention is to make available a drive system which ensures reliable operation, in particular in the region of the bearing system of the direct drive.
- This object is achieved by means of the features of
patent claim 1. Advantageous developments can be found in the subclaims. - The drive system has at least one electric direct drive and at least one bearing module with a radial bearing and an axial bearing which are generally referred to as pressure bearings. The electric direct drive and the bearing module have a cooling device.
- A direct drive with pressure bearings provides numerous advantages over a geared motor or electric motor and transmission. Transmissions are very maintenance-intensive and have high frictional losses. As a result, the process-engineering calculations of the torque, which increase the precision of the device/machine, are made more difficult. The torque of a direct drive can be derived virtually directly from the motor power. By using a direct drive it is possible to connect the drive to the device/machine mechanism without coupling elements. This permits space-saving and economical installation of the drive.
- The direct drive may also be embodied as a built-in motor. Built-in motors are motors which are supplied as built-in components. For a complete drive unit, additional components such as, for example, a bearing and a rotary encoder are necessary.
- Both the direct drive and the bearing module with an axial bearing and radial bearing, which are embodied, for example, as rolling bearings or sliding bearings, have a cooling device.
- A cooling device or cooling systems serve to protect components against thermal overloading by virtue of the fact that the excess heat is conducted away. The cooling device includes, for example, a liquid cooling system in which the coolant which carries away heat is, for example, water. The heat which is produced is absorbed here by the coolant and output, for example, to the surrounding air via, for example, a heat exchanger or a radiator. The cooling device can also have, for example, a pump for a pump-controlled forced circulation cooling system.
- The direct drive and the bearing module can have either one or more common cooling devices or a plurality of separate cooling devices. In the case of a common cooling device, a cooling circuit with a common heat exchanger or radiator is provided, and in this context the common cooling circuit can also have two component circuits which are coupled to a common cooling circuit. The direct drive and bearing module can also have separate, i.e. separated, cooling devices, in which case both the direct drive and the bearing module have a separate heat exchanger or radiator.
- The arrangement of a cooling device avoids overheating of the components since frictional losses occur during operation of the direct drive and of the bearing module. For example, what are referred to as churning losses lead to an increase in the frictional power. The bearings run in the lubricant, during which process an oil mist or spray oil is produced, leading to the abovementioned churning losses.
- Overheating is not desired since it loads the components and shortens their service life. This leads to additional costs for the repair or reprocurement of the components, Furthermore, overheating can also lead to failure or outage of the entire device/machine, which results in downtime costs in production. The cooling device increases the availability of the installation and reduces the maintenance costs. Furthermore, the resulting convection heat is carried away and therefore does not load the working environment. As a result of the lower surface temperatures of the components, working safety is ensured.
- The cooling device advantageously comprises a first cooling circuit and a second cooling circuit, wherein the first cooling circuit is coupled to the second cooling circuit. A cooling circuit is assigned in each case to the direct drive and the bearing module. The first cooling circuit is arranged, for example, on the direct drive, and the second cooling circuit is arranged on the bearing module.
- The cooling of the bearing module increases its lubricant service time, and change times of the lubricant can be lengthened. In addition, the cooling of the bearing module and its lubricant increases the service life of the bearings.
- Separate cooling circuits simplify maintenance and servicing of the components. If, for example, a repair has to be performed on the bearing module, the bearing module can be dismounted and repaired individually. The cooling circuits can also be maintained separately.
- The first cooling circuit and the second cooling circuit are preferably coupled in series or in parallel. The coupling can therefore be selected according to the user's requirements. The coupling of the cooling circuits obviates the need for a separate cooling assembly. The temperature of the cooling water of a cooling assembly rises empirically by approximately 5 K at the rated operating level of the motor.
- The cooling device preferably has a cooling line in the form of a pipe and is embodied as a surface cooling means and/or as an internal cooling means. A surface cooling means of the direct drive and of the bearing module can easily be manufactured using the associated bearings. In this context, the cooling fluid flows around the stator of the direct drive and the bearing module or its bearing housing.
- If the cooling circuit is embodied as an internal cooling means, for example as an internally located cooling coil in the lubricant sump or oil sump of the bearing module, the lubricant is cooled directly, as a result of which more effective cooling is achieved. In contrast, the complexity of manufacture is greater compared to a surface cooling system.
- The coupling of the cooling circuits is preferably effected by means of a pipe element. Such coupling is easy to manufacture and cost-effective.
- The coolant is advantageously a fluid, in particular water. However, the coolant can be any other cooling fluid.
- The cooling device preferably has a digital or analog closed-loop control unit with an analog or digital interface. The use of customary sensors with analog outputs or customary digital open-loop and closed-loop control systems is therefore possible. The temperature of the lubricant of the bearing module is kept constant over the operating period by means of the closed-loop control unit.
- The drive system is preferably provided for a device for processing plastic such as, for example, an injection molding machine or an extrusion machine or a production machine for the plastics industry.
- However, a drive system according to the invention can also be used in many other machine applications, in particular wherever increased axial loads affect the direct drive and the resulting axial and radial forces are to be correspondingly absorbed. This may be the case, for example, in machines in which a worm is used to feed material to a processing means. This also applies, for example, to a meat grinder or similar applications. In the text which follows, the drive system can also be used in devices in which gravitational forces act directly in the axial direction on the drive or the direct drive, such as lifting gear, for example lifting platforms or lifting tables which are driven, for example, by means of ball bearing spindles.

The cooling fluid is located in thecoolant container 15. Thecooling circuit 5 of thedirect drive 1 is embodied as a surface cooling means. In this context, the cooling fluid flows around thestator 13 in a coolingjacket 14. Further coolant (not shown) passes from thecoolant container 15 into thebearing module 2 via thepipe element 7. Thecooling circuit 6 of thebearing module 2 is embodied as an internal cooling means.

In addition, the axial bearing 4 is also cooled. Thecooling circuit 6 is closed by means of the coolingline 18 in the form of a pipe, illustrated here as a projection, which coolingline 18 is then returned, for example, into thecoolant container 15. -

The closed-loop control circuit 50 is used to adjust the closed-loop control variable x, which is the temperature of the lubricant, to a desired value, referred to as a guide variable w, and to keep it constant over the operating period, irrespective of faults which occur. For this purpose, the actual value r of the closed-loop control variable x, i.e. the temperature, is measured by means of the thermosensor 55 (measuring element). The difference between the actual value r (measured temperature) and setpoint value w (desired temperature) is then determined, for example with theoperational amplifier 56. This difference is the closed-loop control deviation e and forms the input variable for the closed-loop controller 51 which is an I-controller in the present case. The closed-loop controller 51 calculates the open-loop control variable u on the basis of its transmission function, said open-loop control variable u driving the throttle 52 (actuator element), as a result of which a greater or smaller amount of cooling fluid passes to the bearing module/direct drive (control section 53). The output signal of theactuator element 52 is the manipulated variable y. The closed-loop control process is triggered either by changing the guide variable w or as a result of theinterference 54. Theinterference 54 is, for example, friction in the bearings (radial bearings 3, axial bearings 4) or else churning losses of the lubricant, and is denoted as interference variable z.
